Best Asian Food Restaurants in Bethesda

"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants H Street Corridor. Hip twentysomethings squeeze into this tiny spot to slurp big bowls of ramen in rich, house-made broth. The dumplings are great, too—we especially like the grilled pork ones—and there are more than 20 kinds of saké available."

"You’ll eat to the tune of bubbling hot pots at this Virginia Square dining room. The waitstaff urges a cauldron per person, filled with simmering stock in which diners can cook an à la carte array of meats, seafood, and vegetables—we found that a single order for two to three people works perfectly well, and you’ll have more room to sample from the expansive Szechuan menu. The fare is both spicy and drink-friendly—large-format beers are offered for a reason."

"Come one, come all to sample some of the best Chinese food in DC - and have the experience of a lifetime!. This awesome casual dining spot in the Arlington neighborhood of DC finds ..."

"Nom nom nom #pho #caphebanhmi #oldtown #oldtownalexandria #alexandria. A post shared by Devon Hill (@dc_devon1) on Nov 27, 2016 at 3:53pm PST. Caphe Banh Mi is a local favorite in Old Town, serving up authentic Vietnamese food including their signature banh mi sandwiches in a variety of styles."

"Stop in this neighborhood favorite for delicious banh mi sandwiches, big bowls of pho, pork-belly steamed buns and other simple but well-executed Vietnamese dishes. The small but cozy space always draws a crowd,..."

"This Vietnamese restaurant serves traditional pho and banh mi sandwiches. The prices are reasonable too, ranging from $10 to $13 per bowl. Contact the restaurant directly for takeout info.—Tim Ebner"

"The chocolate salty oat cookie at Teaism is an iconic sweet found downtown, but did you know there’s also a gluten-free option?. The Hempheart is made with bittersweet chocolate chips, dried cherries, almond flour, and cinnamon. View this post on Instagram"

"There are three of these delightful tea shops in D.C., and many insiders claim them as favorite places for a quick stop. Step up to the counter to order from its diverse menu, which encompasses small plates (flatbreads, shrimp rolls),..."

"Whether you want delivery, take-out, or to dine-in, the 14th Street Cafe has you covered. You can enjoy Chinese-American classics and Sichuan specialties. You can enjoy the delicious Sichuan style beef noodle stew brims with protein and pepper flakes."

"Chefs Danny Lee and Scott Drewno take Asian takeout to another level with their creative Chinese and Korean mashups at Chiko. Swap the traditional beef or chicken entrees for the bold cumin lamb stir fry with wheat flour noodles, along with the “orange-ish” chicken and the vegetarian stir-fried chewy rice cakes.Cost: $17, order from Caviar"

"They do modern Chinese and Korean cuisine, and their noms are damn delicious. Both their locations (Capitol Hill and DuPont) are open, and they offer free delivery via caviar. Although there’s a lot of overlap with their menus, they offer a handful of different dishes at each place so definitely take a look."

"Chinese , Korean"

"If you’ve never experienced the vibrant flavors and colors of Burmese cooking, then you’re in for a treat at Thamee on H Street NE. From the minds behind Union Market’s popular Toli Moli bodega – known for its sweet dessert drink called falooda as well as Burmese snacks – comes an elevated take on classic dishes from the Southeast Asian nation that combines Chinese, Thai and Indian influences. Creative dishes bursting with flavor are plentiful, but diners rave about the pork belly and pickled mango curry and the lahpet poke, a traditional Burmese salad with pickled tea leaves."

"After perfecting their native Anglo-Burmese flavors at Toli Moli in Union Market, owners Jocelyn Law-Yone, her daughter Simone Jacobson and their business partner Eric Wang go full-blown restaurant with this endeavor in the nearby H Street corridor. Inside, the simple subway-tile-lined decor shines the spotlight on the food Law-Yone and Jacobson grew up eating. Dishes like whole steamed fish with turmeric and citrus reference family meals, while treats like falooda layered with ice cream, jellies and basil seeds make sweet endings."

"Retired schoolteacher Jocelyn Law-Yone is enjoying a phenomenal second career as the chef at this Burmese spot on H Street NE that unites Indian, Thai, and Chinese flavors. At Eater D.C.’s 2019 Restaurant of the Year, Law-Yone’s edible curriculum includes lessons on traditional dishes like a turmeric-tinged mohingacurry, brimming with noodles and stewed catfish, or lahpet thoke, a pickled tea leaf salad interspersed with crunchy broad beans. Colorful cocktails match the food for flavor and ingenuity."

"The new covered patio decorated with hanging plants and a tropical palette at Doi Moi is beautiful on sunny days, and equally inviting in a storm. “People seem to really dig the acoustics of the rain pelting this corrugated plastic roof,” says Desmond Reilly, one of three managing principals of Star Restaurant Group. The Logan Circle restaurant unveiled its renovation along with a revamped, Vietnamese-inspired menu in August, with such entrees as steamed shellfish infused with lemongrass and an entire section devoted to banh mi."

"This lively Southeast Asian restaurant on 14th St. boasts an open kitchen that allows diners to see and smell the incredible cooking being turned out. Vietnamese and Thai dishes showcase the techniques and flavors of their regions and the extensive..."

"Check out this southeastern restaurant called Doi Moi in Logan Circle. You can experience Thai and Vietnamese meals at this location. You can enjoy crab fried rice or one of their other flavorful dishes."

"Events at this park’s nature center can fill up the parking lot and draw visitors on nice weekend days. But head into the woods to connect to other trails that flow under the George Washington Parkway, in the direction of the Potomac, and you can walk for miles—toward either the banks of the river itself, Roosevelt Island, or the less-traveled (and warning: wilder) path heading north toward Chain Bridge. Don’t miss the park’s small exhibit with live rescued owls."

"There’s more than a pretty view of the Potomac at this park, which offers miles of trails with varying degrees of difficulty, educational gardens and exhibitions, an outdoor summer concert series, and kids’ summer camp."

"The beautified Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park in Columbia Heights has hosted a drum circle every Sunday (weather permitting) for four decades, inspiring dance and — more recently — a thriving scene of circus artists who juggle, do tightrope walking and demonstrate impressive hula-hooping and human-pyramid skills. While not everyone is happy to see this event become a tourist attraction, it's still a peaceful way to picnic and enjoy a community."

"This sprawling DC urban park is conveniently located in the trendy Columbia Heights neighborhood. One of the gorgeous features of the park is its thirteen-basin cascading fountain, which just so happens to be the longest in the country. The park also has many other notable monuments, such as statues of Joan of Arc and Dante and the James Buchanan Memorial."

"Also known as Malcolm X Park, this 12 acre park is perhaps the most popular park on this list. But being a bit out of the way of Washington’s many tourist traps, it’s almost never overly crowded. Plus, for those willing to trek up the steep hill, it remains a treasure."

"DC's best meditation spot has to be the West Potomac Park, the area between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. It includes the Tidal Basin, which shimmers pink when the beautiful cherry trees bloom around March or April (according to spring's whim)."

"This is a national park adjacent to the National Mall, west of the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument. Major attractions in the area include Constitution Gardens, the Reflecting Pool, the Vietnam, Korean, Lincoln, Jefferson, World War II, and FDR memorials."

"You can leave a tip for your delivery person to show your appreciation for their service. How much you tip is up to you to decide."

"You can be forgiven for assuming that the Heurich House Museum is some grand palace built for long-forgotten aristocracy. Its Victorian-style architecture includes stone archways, wide windows, spire-topped towers and all of the stairs and alcoves that you’d expect from a gothic building. The truth, however, is that the Heurich House Museum was built by a European immigrant in the 1890s."

"Built from 1892 to 1894, this uniquely intact Victorian mansion was the home of German-American philanthropist and beer magnate Christian Heurich. Considered the world's oldest brewmaster, he ran the Christian Heurich Brewery on the site where the..."

"Referred to as the Brewmaster's Castle, the Heurich House in Dupont Circle is known for beer-focused events throughout the year. Every Thursday, it hosts a live “HOME/BREWED” exhibit in the site’s private backyard. View this post on Instagram"

"The Larz Anderson House is a Gilded Age mansion located in Washington DC's Dupont Circle neighborhood. The collection consists of European and Asian fine and decorative arts, as well as, historical American artifacts."
